This didn't dissolve the FDIC, though, did it? Our funds are still

Insured as to dollar value, but not insured against loss of
buying power of those dollars. Check out what stuff costs
lately, it is a shocker. A car battery or several other items
seem to have doubled in the last couple years. Just got quoted
$182 for a rebuilt starter motor, AFTER the core trade-in.
I decided to open it up and lube the works instead! So far, it
seems to be working.
